SKIPPY LEEK, Desha County District Clerk

DEFENDANT

ORDER
The proposed findings and recommended disposition submitted by United States
Magistrate Judge J. Thomas Ray [Doc. No. 76] were received and adopted in November
2010. The defendant then moved to reconsider the adoption of the Magistrate’s
recommended disposition on the grounds that he never received the recommended
disposition. That motion was granted [Doc. No. 82]. Two months later, plaintiff responded
[Doc. No. 85] the Magistrate Judge’s recommendations. After carefully considering these
documents and making a de novo review of the record, including the plaintiff’s objections,
it is concluded that the proposed findings and recommended disposition should be, and
hereby are, approved and adopted in their entirety in all respects.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:
1.

Defendant’s motion for summary judgment [Doc. No. 61] is GRANTED, and

the case is DISMISSED with prejudice.
2.

Plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration [Doc. No. 93] of the magistrate’s order

[Doc. No. 91] denying his motion to amend his complaint, to grant him an extension of time
to file, and for leave to appeal in forma pauperis, is DENIED.

2.

It is certified, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an in forma pauperis

appeal would not be taken in good faith.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 3rd day of May, 2011.
